Relationship between Nicotine Dependency and Occupational Injury in a Japanese Large-scale Manufacturing Enterprise: A Single-Center Study.

Summary of "Relationship between Nicotine Dependency and Occupational Injury in a Japanese Large-scale Manufacturing Enterprise: A Single-Center Study."

Although several studies have shown the association between smoking and occupational injury, the exact mechanism by which smoking contributes to occupational injury remains unclear. We conducted a five-year case-control study in a population of Japanese large-scale enterprise workers aimed to verify the hypothesis that nicotine dependency is positively associated with occupational injury.

Depressive tendency and nicotine dependency are factors related to the failure of smoking cessation. Women generally have a higher depressive tendency and difficulty in smoking cessation than men. How...

Suicide attempts can result from traumatic events, including those caused by occupational injury. However, literature on the long-term prevalence rates of suicidality after occupational injury is rela...

Teaching is one of the most stressful occupations. Over the last decade, about 5000 Japanese public school teachers per year have taken sick leave due to a mental illness. School principals and vice p...

The initial response to nicotine is an important predictor of subsequent use. Multiple factors may alter this response including genetics and age of first use. Here we investigated the influence of ag...

The overall goal of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile (rate and the
amount of nicotine absorbed) following a single use of the THS 2.2 compared to the PK
profiles f...

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions

Encephalitis Virus, Murray Valley

A species of FLAVIVIRUS, one of the Japanese encephalitis virus group (ENCEPHALITIS VIRUSES, JAPANESE), found in Australia and New Guinea. It causes a fulminating viremia resembling Japanese encephalitis (ENCEPHALITIS, JAPANESE).

Encephalitis Virus, Japanese

A species of FLAVIVIRUS, one of the Japanese encephalitis virus group (ENCEPHALITIS VIRUSES, JAPANESE), which is the etiological agent of Japanese encephalitis found in Asia, southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent.

Nicotine

Nicotine is highly toxic alkaloid. It is the prototypical agonist at nicotinic cholinergic receptors where it dramatically stimulates neurons and ultimately blocks synaptic transmission. Nicotine is also important medically because of its presence in tobacco smoke.

Japanese Encephalitis Vaccines

Vaccines or candidate vaccines used to prevent infection with Japanese B encephalitis virus (ENCEPHALITIS VIRUS, JAPANESE).

Encephalitis Viruses, Japanese

A subgroup of the genus FLAVIVIRUS which comprises a number of viral species that are the etiologic agents of human encephalitis in many different geographical regions. These include Japanese encephalitis virus (ENCEPHALITIS VIRUS, JAPANESE), St. Louis encephalitis virus (ENCEPHALITIS VIRUS, ST. LOUIS), Murray Valley encephalitis virus (ENCEPHALITIS VIRUS, MURRAY VALLEY), and WEST NILE VIRUS.
